For the web conferencing lab our group decided to use Vyew. We had used this site before for the text tool and thought that it was pretty easy to use. It’s funny how some ideas can seem like great ideas but then flop. It was really neat to be able to see and talk with everyone at the same time but for our group it wasn’t a good choice. Trying to correspond our schedules to be on the computer at the same time was more work that it was worth. When you take full time jobs, families, checking papers and all of the other things that life throws at you it is hard to set that up. Technology definitely helps our group in other ways but in a less demanding way. By using text messages and emails it allowed us to connect with others when it was convenient for each of us.
I could see this tool being used in the classroom for other purposes. You could talk with other students and classroom all over. I think that the kids would absolutely love it!
